Rick got to see Hank the therapy horse this morning. They put a rope around the saddle horn and Rick used it to pull himself up out of his wheelchair. Then he grabbed the saddlehorn with his right hand and held the rope in his left. He kept moving his feet around like he was trying to find just the right spot to throw a leg over! It was awesome! He was really bright eyed and checking everything out. And, the PT's let go of him for about 30 seconds and he stood there all by himself! I've got pictures and I'll try to get them uploaded. When his time was up I told him to tell Cindy thank you. He reached his hand out like he wanted to shake her hand, but instead of shaking it, he kissed it! It was so sweet...she nearly cried!
I thought I would hear from TLC today about an exact date, but they didn't call. Hopefully we'll know something definite on Monday.
Praise God for another good day, and I know tomorrow will be even better...cuz the kids will be here! Thanks for all your continued prayers.
Love,
Crystal
